i think you missed the part where she said she was "ace" and that there'd be no sexy time for them. Not sure the younger grill is aware of this yet. 

Aye there's the pedo logic in action. Seriously her looks don't matter. I'm not interested in all that. She's really smart. Really mature for her age. Wise beyond her years. Honestly, I couldn't believe it when she said she was only 7.

So a sexless, long distance "romance", where they will probably never meet. Sounds pretty cool.

When threads like these about serious allegations against publishers and developers are constantly getting derailed by arguments over whether threads about games should be banned here or not, to the point where the topic in the OP itself is virtually ignored, then there's a problem.

People aren't discussing the case or the industry-wide issues or productive ways to make a difference. They've been taking shots at each other, shots at the staff, and competing to throw around the most inflammatory accusations they can think of.

That's going to stop. We have these threads to discuss these issues because they're important, and we allow these issues to be raised in threads related to these companies and games because that's important. Discussion about these issues are being suffocated by the constant derailments and infighting.

Derailing this thread or similarly sensitive threads with demands for blanket bans will not influence moderation policy. Please get back to discussing the allegations in the OP and cease the derails and arguments about banning games; further derails will be actioned as such.

Also, it looks like implying the mods are pro-worker abuse was nipped in the bud immediately:

Let me add this: harassing or making insinuations toward female posters, who do nothing other than show excitement about games from these sorts of studios, about not caring about sexism and sexual assault is so far beyond acceptable that I cannot even begin to quantify it.

Anyone doing that is eating a ban. I don't care if you think you had good intentions, I should not need to explain how bad it is.

I guess B-dubs got sick of the cries of banning entire publishers

[Averon]

If these people really believe in their principles, then this seemingly final decree from B-Dubs should immediately force them to bounce from ResetERA. Don't want to "signal boost" a place that's pro-worker abuse, right? But we know it is all talk. They will never leave ResetERA on their own.

[ShutUp]

Telling a bunch of Era white males they can’t tell women what is best for them? That’ll go over well.

Did you think the devs were insensitive in their portrayal of the Norse and Greek gods or can only non whites be culturally offended?

It would definitely be culturally insensitive if they show Kratos violently killing Buddha or the Prophet Muhammed but I'm not sure if it would be culturally inappropriate if say several Roman gods were killed (oh shit maybe SSM should do a Roman series next). The difference here is that Roman gods are remnants of an ancient civilization that have long collapsed whereas Buddha and Muhammed are both very relevant and culturally important figures to billions of people across the globe.

Oh yeah, let's do Roman Gods next.
It'd be cool if Kratos got to kill Mars, Jupiter, Neptune... 

Sure, but they have rechanged mythological origins so you can play around with another set without the risk of offending someone.

Imagine being so scared of offending anyone, that you just redo the stuff you did for 4 games, with different names. 
Might as well have him fight Pokemon or whatever, then.

b-dubs' entire post boils down to "it's off topic"

ok then, we'll just make an on-topic thread dedicated to getting the publisher banned from era 

[benjipwns]

People aren't discussing the case or the industry-wide issues or productive ways to make a difference. ... Please get back to discussing the allegations in the OP and cease the derails and arguments about banning games;

What else is there to "discuss" about the allegations or case? He's arguing that people should just post "wow this is bad" and consider the issue discussed? These people are members of ResetERA.com, they are discussing what ResetERA.com should do to "make a difference" which is the only thing they can control or have any say in other than their personal boycotts.

He's actually arguing for these threads to cease infringing on others excitement for the games, which is a pretty amazing rebuke of everything the members seem to believe the site stands for. B-Dubs has now made it beyond clear that Cerium's pocketbook matters more than any principles that the forum wishes to have.

[Uncle]

he's valiantly trying to spin "protect women at all costs from harmful depictions of their gender" into "protect women at all costs, meaning the real world women who don't seem to mind sexualized depictions of their gender"

[HaughtyFrank]

[Propagandhim]

I wonder if the "Every X does Y, so we can't hold it against X" excuse will hold up elsewhere, or will that just be memory-holed and it's back to "dismissing whatever for whateverism" as a ban excuse if someone tries and pulls a B-Dubs.

[benjipwns]

Remember, B-Dubs himself argued that the every studio in the industry has been accurately accused of and thus is guilty of criminal sexual violence against women. And that because this is so widespread the forum is powerless to do anything to punish companies' marketing efforts. Now he's actually going beyond that to state that threads about those companies misdeeds cannot be "derailed" to discuss what the forum should be doing to "make a difference." When they had created an entire model for how to handle this with Cyberpunk!

I can't believe I can actually still be flabbergasted at how bad they are at this.

This is pretty much what he has said is now the proper response to things on an enthusiast-first focused gaming forum.

Why do you think some plays have to be cancelled ?

It's not about saying "not all gamers", I give no fucks, people are trash. But I feel like people are dangerously forgetting terrible things happening elsewhere and say "it's fine there !" when it's not.

wait, wait, wait!

this is the post he quoted and bolded:

I mean, this is gaslighting and why we have the problems we have today. The gaming community is uniquely terrible. Yes, there’s bigots everywhere, but they -thrive- in gaming communities because the gaming community does not give one fuck. Like she said, she turns on her mic and suddenly the hate flies. That’s what it’s like to be a marginalized gamer, its not the same in any other medium even with their racism. Like, going back to football, the equivalent would be your teammates throwing you off the field the second they realized you were queer, not-white, or female.

this is the person who did the whataboutism!

they said "gaming is uniquely terrible, I mean whatabout football?"

 

(using era's definition of whataboutism, which is "making a comparison ever")

As a practising pagan, I am offended that the slaughter of my gods is used as your entertainment. I demand a complete ban on discussing God of War and, as a diagnosed insomniac, I find their choice of studio name to be insensitive at best, and downright offensive at worst, and if you don't limit discussion to only one thread and negative stories only, I will endlessly shit up every thread with my complaints. As an insomniac, I have infinite hours to do this, mods however have to sleep some time.

[benjipwns]

You know, whining for pages about another site's forum having racism posted on it seems a little missing the forest for the trees when every company involved in that site (including ResetERA.com members like Weltall Zero) is engaged in criminal sexual conduct. Maybe that should be discussed? No derailing either!

In terms of that insomniac thread I would imagine a lot of mods were also pissed that thread was upped last week and "people were spoiling the fun" of the Spiderman 2 and Wolverine reveal by of pointing out that IG has some very scummy people who like to sexually harass women they work with.

Seems there are different rules when it comes to Sony devs and how much they can be criticised. I saw pretend insider Matt laying the groundwork a few days ago with the they all do it style posting, which is true but that thread was about Insomniac games specifically. 

Everyone else, especially hated pubs and devs will still be subject to cancellation and bitching. But of course not ballsy enough to absolutely ban them
